Stray Dog Attack: Wounded Hen!

[khind]

I ask bc I am, I'm in SE MO and it's getting sleepy over here, lol. Did she drink the sugar water? If she won't take it on her own, dip your finger in it and touch a drop to the side of her beak, where the upper and lower beaks join. She should chew and swallow. Keep doing that till she refuses by shaking her head. Don't get any in her nostrils!

Oh, bless you and thank you so much for helping me so late! I'm right next to you, in Oklahoma! I am going to start working on these wounds with the vetracin and antibiotic ointment. I have a crate that she can sleep in in the garage, so we are set for tonight. Go ahead and get some sleep! Thank you for all your help!!

Oh - did you put Neosporin on her already?

Okay, lol, we were texting at the same time! Okay, keep me posted. You're doing great! In the morning see if she will eat some of her food if you put some warm water in it to make a mash out of it and if she will drink some plain water. Keep me posted!

Okay, good night!

Wow, lots of great help and suggestions from @BigBlueHen53 here. You're doing great too!

She should be okay while your gone but I'd be sure to use feeders/waterers she can't tip over or attach them to the side of the cage or crate. Just setting dishes in there she'll be sure to make a mess.

Good job, and hopefully she'll be good as new soon!
